Expert Gravel Driveway Installation
Serving Bellville & Surrounding Areas
Why Choose A Gravel Driveway
Durable, Drivable, And Cost-Effective
Gravel driveways offer a strong, attractive surface at a fraction of the cost of asphalt or concrete. They install quickly, manage stormwater naturally through permeability, and can be refreshed or expanded with ease. With proper base preparation and compaction, a gravel drive resists rutting, supports heavy vehicles, and delivers reliable year‑round access.
CD Driveways and Land Clearing designs each driveway to perform for the long term. We build on a stable subgrade, use geotextile separation where needed, establish the correct crown for runoff, and compact every lift with the right equipment. The result is a clean, uniform surface that looks great, drains correctly, and stands up to daily use.
Engineered For Strength And Smoothness
It begins with a site evaluation to measure grade, identify water flow, assess soils, and locate utilities. We confirm the alignment, width, and turning needs, plan drainage features, and review any HOA or access requirements. You get a clear scope, fixed pricing options, and a timeline before work begins.
Construction includes clearing and stripping organics, fine‑grading and compacting the subgrade, and installing geotextile where soils are soft. We place a base layer of larger angular stone, add an intermediate layer for interlock, then top with a compactable surface blend. Each layer is spread evenly, crowned approximately 1/4 inch per foot, and compacted with a vibratory roller. We finish with defined edges, culverts or swales as needed, and a smooth top course.
The Right Stone And Upkeep Plan
Material selection affects appearance, performance, and maintenance. Common choices include crushed limestone for tight binding, granite for high hardness and lighter color, recycled concrete for value and sustainability, and asphalt millings for a semi‑bound surface. For load‑bearing strength, we use angular stone (not rounded rock) in graded sizes such as #3 or #2 for base, #57 for interlock, and fines for a compactable top.
Enhancements can further improve longevity: steel, timber, or paver edging to contain stone; geocells or stabilization grids on slopes; culverts, water bars, or French drains to control runoff; and aprons at the roadway to reduce tracking. Where erosion risk is present, we incorporate ditching, check dams, or erosion‑control matting to protect the structure.
Low‑maintenance ownership starts with periodic top‑dressing and compaction. Address potholes by scarifying the area, adding matching aggregate, and compacting; minimize washboarding with proper drainage and moderated speeds. Weed growth can be controlled with fabric separation and pre‑emergents; dust can be reduced with fines balance or treatments. We offer maintenance plans, clear cost breakdowns based on length, width, base depth, and access, and workmanship warranties for peace of mind.
